Plaintiffs bring this motion pursuant to Civil Local Rules 74 11 and 79-5 and the June 13, 2007 Stipulated Protective Regarding Confidential Information 5 (“Protective Order”). 6 Portions of Plaintiffs’ Pre-Filing Conference Letter are being lodged with the Court. The 7 Pre-Filing Conference Letter refers to information and quotes documents produced and designated 8 “Confidential” in this action by defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”). 9 The Protective Order requires that the parties file a request to seal any discovery they submit 10 to the Court that is designated “Confidential.” Protective Order, ¶7. Although plaintiffs do not 11 necessarily believe it is critical to seal the designated documents and information from the public 12 record, especially in light of the ‘“compelling reasons”’ test set forth by the Ninth Circuit in 13 Kamakona v. City & Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006), plaintiffs have filed the 14 instant motion so as to comply with the Protective Order. 15 Consistent with Rule 79-5(e), within four days of the filing of plaintiffs’ Administrative 16 Motion to File Under Seal, the designating party must file with the Court and serve declarations 17 supporting the request to seal the protected material and must lodge and serve a narrowly tailored 18 proposed sealing order, or the information at issue will be made part of the public record. Further, 19 plaintiffs are providing the Court with redacted and unredacted, highlighted versions of Plaintiffs’ 20 Pre-Filing Conference Letter. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 912937_1 PLTFS’ ADMIN MOTION TO FILE PORTIONS OF PLAINTIFFS’ PRE-FILING CONFERENCE LETTER UNDER SEAL - C-05-00037-YGR -1- 1 For the foregoing reasons, plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant plaintiffs’ 2 Administrative Motion to File Under Seal and issue an order sealing portions of Plaintiffs’ Pre-Filing 3 Conference Letter. 4 DATED: February 3, 2014 5 6 7 ROBBINS GELLER RUDMAN & DOWD LLP BONNY E.
